Chapter 3 Deer-Head Demon

At some point, the residents living on this land discovered that some powerful creature existed in the forest.

It can drive animals and manipulate forests, and residents become afraid of it.

At first, the residents kept their distance from it, but over time, they began to worship it.

The residents get along well with this creature, and they offer tributes, and it restrains the beast from attacking the village.

Both the village and the monsters gained benefits, and the village was able to avoid the threat of wild animals, and the monster was very satisfied with the villagers' offerings.

However, sometimes it will do something incredible to the residents, such as massacre of livestock, and the residents cannot figure out their ideas and can only serve it more cautiously.

Ultimately, what it is thinking is difficult for humans to understand, but this does not affect people's interactions with it.

But everything was broken with the arrival of the army in black.

The Niphgad slave owner captured most of the people in the village as slaves, and the village was burned. The survivors escaped the Yaruga River, and this totem was forgotten.

But it will not disappear because of forgetting, lose the offering, and it will become more manic.

Of course Hemei didn't know this, but now, looking at the totem, he felt extremely difficult. Just looking at this thing, he knew that he was in trouble.

The soldiers looked at the totem in awe and dared not get too close.

They just looked at the totem from a distance, discussing the thing they encountered in groups of three or five. The panicked faces showed how panicked and uneasy they were in.

Don’t think so much, maybe you just read it wrong. The deer-headed spirit is not that common.

Heme comforted himself like this. Indeed, deer-headed spirit is an unusual thing.

Such powerful products of the intersection of the celestial balls can not be seen anywhere, it might be just an ordinary totem.

But the glimmer emitted from the totem dispelled his fantasy.

There is no doubt that this thing has magic power, so it must be the deer-headed totem.

Damn, it's really unlucky to encounter this thing.

"Knight Hme, let's go quickly."

Jerry said, "It's better to keep this kind of thing here, it has nothing to do with us."

The sergeant's words were full of fear. In his and his soldiers, the farther away from this kind of thing, the better. In the countryside stories, people who are close to these things never ended up well.

This is the simple life wisdom summarized by the people. For these strange things, you can stay away from them. People who play with fire often die miserably.

It is really impossible to leave it, so you have to worship it wholeheartedly and bet on what kind of mentality the existence behind it is, and it only seeks one life anyway.

Hmey was thinking about what he should do with this thing.

It is not possible to destroy this thing. Not to mention the revenge of the deer-headed spirit, the team under his command must start to make trouble first.

Because of the operation of the predecessor, he did not have strong control over his subordinates. He obeyed orders only because of his identity, rather than surrendering from the bottom of his heart.

But if this thing is not destroyed, what should the deer-headed spirit keeps chasing them? Selchik mentioned that this thing will also attack the northerners.

However, they would keep moving in the forest and could not leave the forest. They would rashly leave the forest and expose themselves to the black army to death.

Totem is the key to the resurrection of the deer-headed spirit. If the totem is not destroyed, this thing can be continuously resurrected.

Of course, this deer-headed spirit may also be another way of playing, that is, to calibrate someone in its territory and rely on consuming that person's vitality to achieve resurrection.

Just as Heme was thinking about how to solve this problem, he suddenly noticed that Jerry was listening to a soldier reporting something.

The soldier was their scout. Jerry's face changed several times as he listened to him. Then he looked at Heme, who was looking at him inquiring.

"A team of men in black are coming, and they will be here for about ten minutes at most."

"This is really a disaster, yes... but that's fine, let everyone hide it first and see how many people there are."

When Hemei heard the news, he felt relieved. The man in black came just in time and he didn't need to make a difficult decision here.

After the order was issued, Heme's subordinates reacted very quickly and hid in a hidden spot very smoothly under the command of the soldiers.

Hiding is not unfamiliar to them. The battles on the border are all kinds of ambush and raids.

Jerry also brought people to roughly clean up the traces of activity. After a while, the clearings in the forest looked like no one had ever been there.

Heme pulled out his sword and placed it beside him so that he could pick it up at any time.

He was surrounded by soldiers who used bushes to hide himself, and everyone was squatting to hide his figure.

Several crossbowmen put the bowstrings in their weapons and could be shot at any time when they were ordered.

As time passed, the voices of the Niphgads came and the sounds of armor colliding, and Heme became nervous and uncontrollably.

Soon, the Niphgads appeared before them, led by officers with winged helmets and black plate armor with golden sun engraved on them.

Behind were a large number of low-level soldiers, who were holding iron helmets, some of which were decorated with cow horns, and others with flying wings. The equipment standards of the imperial people were obviously more unified than those of the Northern Army, and the sun emblem could be seen everywhere.

The man in black obviously had a clear goal, so he came directly before the totem and became busy around the totem, while some people were making fires on the ground.

These were all well-trained soldiers. Heme noticed that they had only simple communication and immediately began to complete their respective tasks.

"Look at this? The man in black intends to overthrow this totem?"

Jerry whispered beside Hmey, the sound of the Nifgads making loud enough to make him dare to speak.

Hme nodded without speaking, and continued to look at the Niphgadians. What is important is to know what the Southerners are going to do.

They were busy tying the ropes to the stones, while the other Nifgaard soldiers looked around the forest with a warning, as if there were enemies hiding there.

Well, they plan to destroy this totem, it’s so fierce. It’s really reckless as the southerners, but it’s good that the Niphgads are going to be unlucky.

Hemei complained in her heart, thinking that they were just messing around.

But he thought again that these people had found the totem, which means they didn't seem so random. There must be people who know how to guide them.

Just as the man in black tied up the rope on the stone and was about to start pulling the totem, they took out a prisoner, who had a gem emblem from the Soden Kingdom.

His clothes haven't been washed for a long time. They are covered in dirty clothes. The man is also quite embarrassed and has unnatural thinness on his body.

The black-armored soldier forced him to kneel down, and the man was pressed down like a walking corpse. Then the Niphgads cut off his head, and blood gushed wildly, and soon a pool of blood formed.

This made everyone led by Heme completely unable to understand what they were doing. Heme thought for a long time and suddenly realized something.

Is it a possessor?

He thought this way that this was another way of resurrection of the deer-headed spirit, which was to calibrate a person in his territory and resurrect in a way that absorbs his vitality.

He was both engaged in totem and possession, and he was even more sure that these Nifgads had some guidance and were prepared.

Just as Hmey analyzed the reasons for the actions of the Nifgads, the man in black began to pull the stone violently, and as they shouted and pulled, the stone collapsed.

Subconsciously, Hemei put his hand on the sword, and he felt a chill, and everyone present was like this, whether it was the man in black or the lurking northerners, they all had that feeling.

"Damn it, it's really here."

This feeling told Hermey that he thought that the thing was coming, and it did appear.

I don’t know when a tall figure appeared in the forest.

The figure was four or even five meters high, and its body and limbs were composed of dead trees and branches.

The ornaments made of animal skulls swayed on it, making a crisp sound.

Its head was the skull of a stag, and for some reason, the dark eye sockets seemed to burn with angry flames.

The sky was suddenly filled with crows, and they made croaking noises, making the atmosphere look particularly terrifying.

Then they landed on the trees and looked at the people in black.

"They smell death."

Jerry muttered with a little fear, while Hemei nodded subconsciously. Yes, these crows were still waiting for the banquet to begin.

The wolves also appeared beside the deer-headed spirit, like ministers guarding the monarch.

Fortunately for the northerners, the monsters did not appear in their hidden places and they did not have to serve as cannon fodder for the man in black.

Hmey felt that the deer-headed spirit must have discovered them, but the Niphgads are now the main ones it has to deal with, so it did not attack the northerners.

When the Nifgads saw the appearance of the deer-headed spirit, many people subconsciously retreated, which was the normal reaction of many people in the face of monsters.

And under the scolding and actions of the officers and a group of obviously unafraid, the soldiers quickly organized against the kings of the forest.

The soldiers holding a halberd and a spear immediately stood on the front line, the archers lit the arrows with the flames that had emerged in advance, and many soldiers holding swords and axes raised their torches.

It seems that the Nifgads planned to fight with the deer-headed elite from the beginning.

Hemei watched all this with interest, which just allowed him to watch the show. The monsters fought with the man in black, and it was really a dog biting a dog.

The deer-headed spirit is obviously smarter than ordinary monsters. It raises its hands made of dead branches and suddenly turns into a flock of crows and disappears, and then it appears among the Nifgaard archers.

The Niphgads seemed to have encountered this move. The archers were wearing heavy armor and subconsciously drew out their swords, but this was useless to face monsters.

The seemingly thin dead branches' arm strength was very terrifying. Just waving it gently, several people were knocked away, and there was an incredible expression on their faces.

The deer-headed spirit's move immediately made the man in black panic, and the impact of the wolves and the biting of the crows at the same time made the chaos even worse.
